Parent Grievance Procedure
Bold City Education encourages parents and guardians to address concerns promptly to support student well-being and academic success.
1. Contact the Classroom Teacher
Discuss the concern directly with the teacher.
2. Escalate to the School Principal
If unresolved, contact the school principal.
3. Contact the CEO
If necessary, escalate the concern to the Chief Executive Officer.
4. Submit to the Governing Board
If all previous steps have been followed and the concern remains unresolved, it may be submitted to the Governing Board for review.
All concerns must follow this order to ensure privacy, transparency, and fair resolution.
If a person suspects misconduct by school staff is affecting the health, safety, and welfare of a student, they should contact the school principal, the superintendent, and the parent liaison. If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.
Anyone who knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect that a child is abused, abandoned, or neglected must report such knowledge or suspicion to the Florida Abuse Hotline: 1-800-96-ABUSE
